What Fish Should I Get?

Bolivian Rams, Jaguars and Zebras make you think of farms and jungles, but these are a few of the names of over 4000 species of tropical coldwater fish that come from all over the world. For those interested in keeping fish, tropical freshwater fish are the best choice. They are not so expensive as saltwater tropical fish and there is much more variety than ordinary goldfish. There are large and small, timid and dangerous, pretty and plain, racers and hiders. Some eat others, so must be kept separate, or put with species they don’t eat.

When choosing your fish make sure you get them from a reputable store so that the risk of disease is reduced. You can tell if a store is reputable by looking around for a quarantine tank. Fish must come a long way to the fish nursery and should be kept in quarantine for a few weeks to make sure they are disease free. Otherwise all the healthy fish in the main tanks can be quickly contaminated. Some of the toughest fish are platys and barbs.

To tell if a fish is diseased, look for these symptoms.
